A less explored destination in Kodai hill ranges; ideal for soft treks. Thandikudi is situated about 47 km mortheast of Batlagundu in Lower Palani hills in Kodaikanal taluk. It is on the left bank of Marudanadi, about 4,400 feet above mean sea level. The serene location of Thandikudi had remained an important archaeological site since megalithic times.
We would also hop into Dolman’s Cave and Ponnu-Mappillai Rock and a water falls which are special attractions of this hidden hills. The story of Ponnu- Mappillai Rock goes like this … a couple who got married in plains and started walking through the dense forest to Thandikudi… legend has it that they got frozen into the massive rock structures resembling a couple!
